DUDLEY — A judge has ordered a Worcester man held without bail on charges of killing his ex-girlfriend at a Webster auto parts store.

Authorities say 38-year-old William Goddard also shot and injured another worker Monday at Action Crash Parts.

Goddard was arraigned Tuesday in Dudley District Court on charges of murder and armed assault with intent to commit murder. Goddard's attorney says a plea of not guilty was entered on Goddard's behalf.

Goddard is accused of shooting to death 30-year-old Kelly Brackley, a mother of five from Auburn.

Police say Goddard also shot her co-worker, Yograj Shivoasani (YO'-graaj shi-vo-ah-SAN'-ee) of Providence, Rhode Island, in the arm and eluded police for several hours before he was arrested in the woods in Berlin.
